Once again my thanks go to everybody who took part in February. There was a great turn out this month, but it was hard to choose between all the lovely entries I had. However, I’ve picked one winner and two runners-up this time as I really couldn’t decide between them!
The winner for February is Phil Huston with his very atmospheric story ‘Bobby B- Gator Bait‘. It was very realistic, so much so that I felt I was actually there on that bayou:
Congratulations Phil!
I couldn’t decide on one or the other of these for a runner up, so I chose them both! Congrats also to Julie G for ‘Our Bench by the Sea’: https://storytellingdancer.com/2019/01/31/short-story-our-bench-by-the-sea/
And to Darlene Foster for ‘Ghosts in the Attic’: https://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/2019/02/01/ghosts-in-the-attic/

Wow! Thank you Stevie, and to all who have commented on Gator Bait. What this tells me is how much we don’t need to write for readers to join us. Thank you again!
